Exhibit Booths Building the Brand

ASHI Chapter members and individual ASHI Inspectors are using the ASHI Experience exhibit booths at consumer and real estate shows across the country, providing visual reinforcement for the message they’re delivering one-on-one to the people who want to know why a home inspection is important, and who need to know what they can expect when they choose or recommend The ASHI Experience.

Taking it to the people

Chapters and individual Members have long recognized the value of taking the ASHI message directly to consumers and real estate professionals at home shows and local real estate conferences. Requests quickly followed the announce-ment that new booths would be available to add the power of visual representation to the strong message ASHI Inspectors were delivering one-on-one to the people who could benefit from the technical expertise and customer service of The ASHI Experience. The booths are in such demand, more have been ordered. Here’s who has been using or reserving them recently.
